Asian elephants have faced a tough climb since 1986, which is when they were officially listed as endangered. Their numbers have dropped by more than half over the last few generations, effectively covering about 60 to 75 years of history.

As the largest land animals in Asia, these giants are truly impressive to see in person. They are easily recognized by their long, versatile trunks and the large tusks often found on the males. You might also notice their uniquely folded ears and grey, wrinkled skin, which often shows lighter patches around the neck and face.
